Question 1

I am wondering is this able to connect to a wi-fi or does it have to lan lined?

Accepted Answer

This computer has to be lan lined as configured when ypu buy it.  You could add wi-fi capability by installing a wi-fi PCI card like:

Newegg Baaqii WA036 PCI 300M 802.11n/g/b 300Mbps Wireless WiFi WLAN Network Card adapter 
Model #: WA036
Item #: 9SIA2970RU5239, about $20.

Hardware installation is not too hard and Windows should pick up the software installation automatically.  Then you just connect to your network.  Feel free to ask again if you need any help.  
I bought this computer for my kid and we had to return the first one as the power supply died after about 10 hours.  I added some cooling fans and a upgraded CPU cooling  (about $50 for all) as it tends to run hot when running complex games.  Works like a champ now and he is busy gaming away.  Wish he would spend some time on his homework!
Good Luck!

Question 2

Question 4

Does the PC come with the LED fan installed?

Accepted Answer

Grundo,
This system will have 1 of the BLUE LED fans installed. Please feel free to come back and leave more questions, we will answer in a timely matter! Thanks!

Question 5

Does it have a DVI/HDMI cable?

Accepted Answer

This system will have DVI/HDMI video Outputs, but the HDMI cable will not be included into the system. Please also note that do not connect to the video ports on the motherboard. Plugging into the motherboard video ports will cause your monitor to receive no signal. Thanks for asking questions here, please kindly come back if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Question 6

I bought this computer and above the serial number there is "i-series 301". Does it mean it is the wrong model? Model number is suppose to be Gamer NE670X. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Ohh sorry for the late reply but I received this computer also and I am experiencing the same thing you are. If you look at the image gallery on newegg on the back of the computer and zoom in on the white sticker it says i-series 301. So there is nothing to worry about. Also, the serial number is not i-series 301, it is located else where on the computer.

Question 7

I never seen a power supply that has a switch. Could someone tell me what that switch acts for and am I suppose to flip the switch at certain times, like when I am gaming, or turning the pc off/on?

Accepted Answer

The switch is designed to allow power or electricity through the entire computer...its an off/on switch.  You can leave it on at all times or if you prefer you can turn it off when your done using it.  Theres a button in front of the tower that turns it on, big & black, right next to the logo.  Ill flip the switch during thunder-storms.

Question 8

Can you add another video card and does this computer work with the nvidia shield???

Accepted Answer

Newegg Shopper,

You won't be able to add another video card to this computer, as the motherboard is not SLI compatible. Please let me know if you you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Question 9

If I decided to purchase a 2nd Nvidia GTX 760 and SLI them could the motherboard/processor handle it?

Accepted Answer

I processor should handle it fine. Space may be an issue. Motherboard has 1 PCIe x16 slot, 1 PCIe x1 slot, and 1 PCI slot. My video card is in the PCIe x16 slot, but the card is so wide that it covers the PCIe x1 slot. The few Nvidia GTX 760 I see on newegg "should"fit okay, but something for you to look at. I looked at the website for the motherboard. It's  GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 4.1). It doesn't say anything about adding cards, so I'm gonna go 50/50 on the motherboard. I've never done two GPUs, so I have no experience. I just know there is very little room left on the motherboard if you leave the original NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 card in there.

Question 10

How much does the CPU bottleneck the GPU? Can this run most games on high settings?

Accepted Answer

Grundo, 
This CPU/GPU set up will be able to run 
BattleField 4 with settings on High with 1680x1050 resolution 
With an average FPS: 70 to 90
It will be able to run most games on high settings with some games that it will handle Ultra. 
Please feel free to come back and ask more questions if needed. Thanks
